Gase, the offensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears, becomes Miami's fourth consecutive hire with no prior head-coaching experience, joining former Dolphins coaches Joe Philbin, Tony Sparano and Cam Cameron. He is considered a "quarterback guru," which is highly coveted by Miami. He did good work with quarterback Jay Cutler this season and Peyton Manning and Tim Tebow in Denver in previous seasons.
The Dolphins were looking for someone who can get the best out of fourth-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill in 2016 and beyond. Tannehill was given a $96 million extension last year but has been inconsistent with a 29-35 record as a starter.

I'm not sure how I feel about him TBH. OC for the highest scoring offense of all time is a pretty big accomplishment, but he won't have remotely the same talent level in Miami.

Could end up in NYC after all.

He needs a franchise QB. Just like 25 other head coaches

Another Dolphins hire with no head coaching experience, seems to be the norm for them.

Why they gave Tannehill 96 Mil boggles the mind. Now the hire is all about saving him.

I'm relieved at their expected DC hire. Vance Joseph, Bengals DB coach. Couple staff possibles mentioned also.

No Schwartz and no fearsome names in there.

Re: Fins hire Adam Gase as HC

Gase was one of the surprise non-hires at head coach last year. He's supposedly done good work with Peyton Manning and Cutler. The Dolphins need more out of their QB. They felt Gase was the right guy. Certainly Marrone does not have that type of reputation.

Because otherwise they would have had to use someone like Matt Cassel. College football is ruining the position of QB. Remember when three big, strong armed guys from Louisiana named Ferguson, Jones, and Bradshaw came out in to the NFL?

Do you guys prefer him to Marrone for the Fins?

They're both trash.

6 of one, half dozen of the other. No clue who Marrone would have gone for as DC, but so far what Gase appears to be going for doesn't look that threatening.

Well this move isn't scaring me.

Re: Fins hire Adam Gase as HC

What's the under over for when they fire the guy?

I'll set it at 3 and 1/2 years.

Oh and i'll take the under.

It's more like 30 million. Very little guranteed money and and opt out clause after the 2016 season
